Changed lines 57-64 from:

To program the Arduino board with your new parallel port programmer, you need to edit <WIRING>\lib\wiringlite\makefile. Change the line:

program: program-using-bootloader

to:

program: program-over-parallel-port

to:

See the bootloader page for details on using your new parallel port programmer to burn the bootloader onto the Arduino board.

(Please note, however, that this doesn't allow for communication between the computer and programs running on the board. You'll need a serial cable for that.)

Connect the ends of the two cables so that, when viewed from the connector end, the unused wire is to the upper left and the wire to pin 11 is to the upper right (this is considered pin 1 of the connector and should be matched with the pin 1 indicated on the Arduino board).

Added lines 43-48:

Hot glue the wires inside the case of the parallel-to-serial adapater, making sure that any uninsulated wires are kept apart. Or, if not using an adapter, wrap the exposed wires with electrical tape to keep them from touching.

Once the glue dries, reclose the case of the parallel-to-serial adapter.
